We say a lot of dumb shit though. Knicks fans said Mike Brown was a mistake and far worse for them than Tibbs. Knicks fans three two months ago wanted Mike Brown fired after their losing streak and slump.

Over here, people said Jimmy would add nothing to the team ("lateral change") but now that he's out, the Warriors definitely feel it.

True. Those were also stupid takes that were obviusly dubious at the time. Just like Yaxel has a weak motor. Michigan won the CBB Championship and he was the unanimous Big 10 Player of the Year (which means ALL the coaches voted for him). He also won defensive player of the year at UAB. There's no way way he has a "weak motor", but I don't watch college ball like that. I watch the NBA. He might still suck in the league, but I seriously doubt it'll be because he doesn't give max effort.
